Chapter 278 Return to Beijing
Li Wenxi later found a suitable time to return the photo to Wang Erhu.
Wang Erhu took the photo and immediately put it away carefully with his hands like a treasure, his big and clear eyes showing full of gratitude.
A week later, Li Wenxi prepared to take Han Yi back to Beijing to recuperate.
When he returned the house and came to pack up, Wang Erhu lay at the door and looked at Li Wenxi, his eyes full of reluctance and nostalgia.
Before leaving, Li Wenxi squatted down, gently took Wang Erhu's little hand, and put a stack of money in his hand.
"Erhu, you have to hide this money well. If you are hungry, go out and buy some food. Don't starve yourself. Grow taller and stronger, study hard. When you become strong, no one will dare to bully you. Do you understand?" Li Wenxi's voice was gentle and full of concern.
Wang Erhu nodded with tears in his eyes and red eyes, "Thank you, sister. I will listen to you. I will grow taller and stronger and study hard." Although the little boy's voice was choked, it was firm. He held the money tightly in his hand, as if holding all the courage.
Li Wenxi rubbed his hair again, "Take good care of yourself."
Wang Erhu stood at the end of the alley and watched Li Wenxi leave. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes until he could no longer see her. He turned around and walked back.
After returning to the capital, Han Yi recuperated in the military compound. He originally wanted to go back to the courtyard to recuperate, thinking that he could stay with Li Wenxi, but Li Wenxi disagreed. She said, "If I stay in the courtyard, I can't take care of you all day. I have to go to school and projects frequently, which will delay your recovery. It's best to stay in the military compound, with Aunt Shi here."
Han Yi had to accept this arrangement.
Li Wenxi tried her best to find time to visit Han Yi in the military compound.
Fang Shufen didn't know until then that Han Yi had been so seriously injured this time. She was so distressed that she couldn't stop crying. She patted Han Yi's shoulder gently, "You kid, you were so seriously injured, why didn't you tell your mother?"
Han Yi smiled and comforted Fang Shufen, "Mom, don't worry, I'm much better now. The doctor said I'll be fine after a while."
Fang Shufen still couldn't help wiping away tears. Thinking of Han Yi's older brother Han Lei, she couldn't help but worry again, "Your brother is still in the peacekeeping force, and I don't know how he is doing."
Han Yi comforted her, "No news is good news."
Fang Shufen also knew this was the truth, and in the end she could only sigh helplessly. Knowing that it was Li Wenxi who took care of Han Yi during this period, he was grateful to his future daughter-in-law and often made soup for Li Wenxi, saying that she took care of Han Yi and made him thinner.
After Han Yi recovered from his injury, he soon returned to the army. Li Wenxi's life returned to a peaceful track. She continued to devote her energy to work and study, and lived a busy and fulfilling life every day.
During this time, Zhang Shulan ushered in the highlight of her creative career. The novel she wrote before was successfully adapted into a TV series, which was very popular after it was broadcast. The popularity soared for a while, and even boosted the sales of her other novels. Almost all bookstores hung her works.
Some film and television companies approached her and bought the copyright of her novels. Several companies also invited her to participate in writing TV scripts. Overnight, Zhang Shulan became a hot writer.
One weekend, Li Wenxi finally found time to have dinner with Zhang Shulan. The two sat down in a familiar small restaurant. Zhang Shulan looked energetic and her face was full of smiles. She picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes at random, then excitedly said to Li Wenxi: "Xiaoxi, I have changed my mind now."
Li Wenxi looked at her with a smile, "Change of mind about what?"
Zhang Shulan's eyes sparkled, "You know, I always wanted to be a college teacher, and then write some novels by the way. But now, I don't want to be a college teacher anymore. I want to focus all my energy on writing novels, be a free writer, travel around, see the world, and experience different customs and cultures. In this way, I can write better and more real stories. And it feels really great to be free from any constraints. "
Li Wenxi couldn't help but feel envious after hearing her words, "Such a life is indeed desirable. Being able to write as you please and set out to explore the world at any time sounds really wonderful."
Zhang Shulan smiled slightly, with a firm look on her face, "Yes, I find that only by experiencing this world personally can I write better works. After a while, I plan to travel abroad to see the scenery outside." At this point, she smiled playfully again: "But don't worry, I will definitely come back when you get married."
